game theory to assess the economics of transboundary river water allocation in a simple model of river sharing. This model …We survey the economics of transboundary river water allocation, which emerged in the 1960s and has matured over the … last decade due to increasing concerns over water scarcity and pollution. We outline the major approaches and pay specific …

This Ph.D. research project focuses on the institutional analysis of irrigation water governance in Central Asia. The … overall objective of the research work is to investigate how institutions influence the cooperative behavior of water users … on evolutionary game theory. Finally, the fifth chapter synthesizes the research findings, indicates the contribution of …

We study water use by two geographically proximate farmers in a particular region during a drought. The two farmers … each have an endowment of time that can be used either to produce water or to steal water. The price of water is … exogenously given. The goal of the two farmers is to maximize their wealth from water production and water theft. In this setting …
